Holy sh*t, this is true!

• A 4th grader is doing a school project on plastic straws

• Couldn’t find the answer on google

• So he called a straw manufacturer

• They estimated “500 million” 

• He writes his school paper, it goes viral

• NY Times, CNN, didn’t fact check, just ran with that number

• Turns out it’s wrong. Real number is ~3x lower

• We all suffer through paper straws for years 

• That kid graduated from MIT and now works at Databricks :D

Let me tell you about one of my favorite quotes:

To me, you’re family. So I wouldn’t lie to you either.

And when it comes to my banking** services, I use Mercury.

I use it for my personal account. My business accounts. Everything. In total, I have 6+ accounts with them.

That’s why I’m confident in recommending it, because I know it works and I know what it does.
